Don’t know about this specifically but if you ever watch Rainbolt you know that NYC is pretty legendary for providing crazy data to the public (for example a database of all trees, or insane detail street information)

More and more I’m coming to the realization that they’re definitely not the good guy, but certainly seem to be the least bad.

I know this is all just tongue-in-cheek, but for the record, they only drove it around for 30 min around the lab site, not on the open roads.

I strongly disagree. Tahoe is horrible but Mac hardware is terrific. Have you seen a Neo? I think Apple is hitting it out of the park (falling behind in many other areas)

For what it's worth you still need the alcohol wipes (mineral oil works well too) when swimming off the coast of Santa Barbara. It's naturally occurring oil that gets all over your feet in little annoying sticky spots.

You make some fair points here, but I'm unclear as to whether you're claiming Geerling's video is an example of an "overwhelmingly negative take on AI". If so, my suspicion is that you didn't watch it.

Not sure about price vs other options but note that for the $244 price you have to 3d print your own parts and supply your own rPi etc

There are no "language police". I think about this quote from Ricky Gervais a lot. He's had more than a few controversies, which you may or may not agree with but I think his take here is apt. "Please stop saying 'Y

You wouldn't know her, though. She lives in Canada.

Ugh, thought at first you might be just being mean but a quick look at its other comments 100% confirms. I don’t understand — what’s even the point of such comment slop. I mean on Reddit it’s for karma and selling accounts or whatever. But

Also, really the holy grail of YouTubers — he’s not concerned with clicks or retention. He has a day job, he’s not trying to do this full time or make a career out of it. I’ve been following him for years. Legitimately just an insanely smar

Bad calls are not “soul”. There’s plenty of flair and tradition and flavor in baseball.

Would suggest you or anyone else watch Internet Shaquille's short video on "Why Are Recipes Written Like That?"[1]. It addresses your sentiment in a rather thoughtful way. [1] https://youtu.be/rMzXCPvl8L0

To be a bit pedantic, I think that YouTube sponsors aren't necessarily scams, but are definitely not generally good products or deals. It's a spectrum.

Talk about living rent free…the number of modern songs which are (generally obliviously) derivative of Pachelbel's Canon in D is mind boggling, which itself was surely built upon even earlier, similar chord progressions.

Time does exist though, at least directionally, because of entropy, no?

Trey The Explainer on YouTube has a great video about “the rarest signature”, which is more like a deep dive on to what exactly is a signature and autograph (and…why)

If you've got 12 minutes to spare, I highly recommend this video about Onfim by Trey the Explainer. [ https://youtu.be/H_nT6EFUZmI?si=RcFJeGjzcjkoVlh8 ] But only if you wish to experience sonder.

>Actor Scott Glenn, who plays the Captain of Dallas, modeled his character after our Captain, Tom Fargo. Terrific character. I just love the competency and leadership. Hopefully your Cpt. Fargo was just as good. My favorite exchange from

The best is when they use flimsy arguments about needing to "make an example" or "discourage this behavior" or "create a deterrent", as if people in these situations are even aware they're doing anything w

For anyone particularly taken by the “sonder” described there at the beginning, I can’t recommend highly enough the video about Onfim by Trey The Explainer on YT. If you don’t already know what it’s about, I won’t spoil it. I highly doubt y

The obvious problem with that is that 90hz is just as good as 120hz for 95% of people. (60hz is as good as 90hz for probably 70%)
